About Jake

Hi! My name is Jake Richmond. I live in Portland, OR where I make comics and games! Modest Medusa is kind of an autobiographical comic (except for all the stuff with the Medusa), so the Jake you see in the comic is pretty much me.

Have a question? Hate the comic and really need to let me know? Want to buy some original Modest Medusa art? Contact me at jakessecretevilemail (at) gmail.com

Hi Jake, I’m a professional sculptor and toy designer and I’m considering starting a new project soon. I’ve only recently started reading your comic, and fell in love with the little Medusa instantly character. She’s cute and adorable, and i think a lot of people would love being able to purchase their own little version of it. If this is something that might be of interest to you, drop me a note and we can discus it more.

I think it would be really cool to get a mini-figurine, or preferably a plushie of the little medusa. I’d like to have one now, but of course, not if it was ridiculously expensive…I bet you could get an easy $15-20 asking price on a well made 8-10″ medusa.

I’ve caught up on everything today and now I’m waiting on the next one anxiously. Are we ever going to get a name to go with the friendly little medusa.

she’s from my psychic Japanese schoolgirl role playing game, Panty Explosion Perfect. It’s a 52 space book full of fill color comics and illustrations (as well as a complete game). You can get it at atarashigames.com.

I need a book illustrator. Mine just went psychotic (actually I think she was psychotic all this time). The style I need is eerily similar to yours. I don’t know how to message you so I am posting here. Paying gig–can you help me or recommend comic artist who needs some quick and easy work?

Hey Jake! I’m the guy from Stumptown who tried on the chainsaw unicorn hat on Saturday (if you remember that at all, haha). Just wanted to say I really dig the comic (read it all today). I thought the pacing was a bit weird, especially during the first ‘season’, but this most recent adventure is /very/ nice. Can’t wait to see more- this page is definitly staying in my favorites. 🙂

I stopped by your booth at kumoricon this last weekend as scott pilgrim. I started reading yesterday and am already to season 2! I really like it so far and i have the modest medusa sticker on my lap desk for my computer.

I’m defanetly going to buy the book if your at kumoricon next year or sakuracon!

Jake,
Been loving your comix for a while and following MM online. My lifestyle doesn’t allow for physical “schtuff” accumulating in my digs. That’s why I’m down with the online scene. I check in as often as I can.

So, like, where’s the clickable donation icon, so I can eSend you $$? Folks gotta have a way to support their “fix.” Know what I mean? I always check up on Medusa, so get that donation thing going. Multiple income streams feed the pond of wealth. Dude!

Umm… hi! I found your comic by destiny on top web comics where your comic was, er, um, *88th* in the list… oh, well! I just googled “web comics” for fun cos I read a comic that updates once every friday and it’s hard to spend the week bored. Well, anyways, the comic underneath MM was Sarah Zero and I’d seen that twice before on the top comic list so I let my curiousity lead me. Anyways i found out it’s a strange gay comic. So I clicked yours cos it was ontop of the Sarah Zero one. I fell in love with Medusa’s cuteness. So I read the whole comic from the beginning! It took me a day or 2 but it was TOTZ WORTH IT! I FEEL LIKE I KNOW MEDUSA SO WELL! I LOVE IT! I live in GB and I am a very picky comic reader. I hate those japenese-anime style ones cos they annoy me. I think rude ones like Sarah Zero are too, well, rude. I like cute comics! And I’m new to web comics. It started off with “Doctor Cat” and then yesterday I got bored! So call it destiny! Chocodiles and Pokemon and cons are all new to me though. The British don’t exactly have a tendency to put on conventions. oh well!

hey jake! its been a few years but i remember the time in parkrose every week when we’d watch anime and draw! I want to stay in touch because its been so long since ive had your afterschool event. email me will ya?

Hmm… I don’t want to bad mouth Julia and Howard at all. They may be offering a great service. But recently several friends who have done Kickstarters told me that they hired consultants to help them out, and that they regretted it. Apparently the consultants did little more than send their press release to a few sites that didn’t run it anyway. If you’re running a Kickstarter I’d advise doing research before you pay anyone to help you promote. Or even better, just do it yourself (and with the help of your super cool audience).

Hi,
I just start with czech fanmade translation (Czech Republic is small country in middle Europe).
I hope you are OK with it : )
Pages are not finished yet, I still work on it.
All credits will go to you, of course.

Wandered into B&N today to get a Consumers Report and they were doing a big advertising thing for their upcoming “Get Pop-Cultured” event. I told them they missed a bet by not including this great local artist who had a few books out. The clerk at the table will look up Medusa, and may become a convert. I doubt the chain notices though… Still a little evangelising!

This is kinda weird, but…I supported the first two volumes. At the time I was posting as Timothy, and my name as it appears on the credits is Timothy NM Kinnee. I’ve actually gone ahead with my transition since then.
I know this is kinda a bitch, but is there any way you could correct the name to Sophia NM Kinnee in the drafts for any future printing of your works?
A humble fan,
Sophie
